China Entertainment 1997

In the morning, Cao Xuan woke up and looked at Hu Jing, who was sleeping soundly on top of him. He carefully moved her away and went to the toilet to drain the water.

I looked at the time and saw that it was already past nine o'clock. I was so excited last night that I went home to "celebrate privately" again in the evening, so I didn't go to bed until almost two o'clock in the evening.

Fortunately, there was no announcement today and there was no need to be late. Cao Xuan simply called and gave himself half a day off to wash up and sit in the bedroom playing on the computer.

Opening the web page, almost all news about the successful Olympic bid last night is overwhelming.

Leaders’ speeches, reactions from all parties, great significance, national jubilation blah blah blah...

Cao Xuan browsed for a while and switched to the entertainment section. He saw that the entertainment industry has been quite lively in the past two months.

——"Meteor Garden" landed in the mainland and became a hit. Although it was banned, F4 quickly became the new idol of many people.

Cao Xuan is a little greedy, not because he envies F4, but because the boss behind F4 has created a phenomenal idol group and is making crazy money this time.

It is worth mentioning that although F4 is a combination, they do not belong to the same company. It was the companies behind them that found out that they were causing trouble, so they joined forces to make money.

F4 later disbanded. In addition to declining popularity and member resistance, discord within the company was also an important factor behind it.

Later, the producers of "Meteor Garden" intended to create the glory of F4 again, so they created Fahrenheit, who was not good at "singing, dancing, acting, and rapping", but was very good at it.

——The box office of "Shaolin Soccer" in Hong Kong is increasing day by day. It is a bi-weekly show, which is still the same as before. The careers of the two people who went to Hollywood took off, and the one who stayed behind also dominated one side.

Cao Xuan personally likes this movie very much. He plans to wait for the pirated version in mainland China to buy the disc and collect it, so as not to watch it when it is removed from the shelves in the future.

——Zeng Zhiwei was beaten violently.

Apart from anything else, this incident was very effective in educating the mainland people about the grudges and resentments in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong, as well as the secrets of the entertainment bosses behind the scenes.

Especially Tianya, there are not many people taking care of it at this stage, and a lot of hard stuff has been uncovered. Although most of it is fabricated, there are also a lot of real things.

Cao Xuan walked around Tianya for half a circle and was very satisfied eating melons.

It's not like the various groups on Douban later, with a series of capital letters or various twisted pronouns, which are so unfriendly to ordinary passers-by that they can't recognize people at all.

But it’s understandable. It’s a tight control. Even the mention of eating grapes and tiger bone wine has been deleted from the novel...

Cao Xuan was watching the excitement, and Hu Jing also woke up and came over to take a look at one of them: "The Legend of the Condor Heroes is really going to be filmed? Should Lu Yi play Guo Jing or Yang Kang?"

"I guess Lao Zhang is bragging."

Cao Xuan knew it well, Zhang was an old hype master with a big beard, and he was quite successful in "The Swordsman".

Now that "The Swordsman" is a big hit, he has become famous. In addition, he has left CCTV and is bent on opening the door, which makes it even more complicated.

Just the casting of Guo Jing and Huang Rong included almost all the popular new generation artists in the mainland, including Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Previously, the press release said that Cao Xuan would play Guo Jing, Xie Feng would play Yang Kang, and the most popular Zhao Nasha would play Huang Rong.

It was so far off the mark that many people online started to criticize it.

Xie Feng is actually quite suitable, but not likable. Everyone thinks Cao Xuan and Zhao Nasha are inappropriate. Of course, there are some who support them. After all, they are the two most popular people at the moment and have great popularity among passers-by.

A reporter even went to ask Cao Xuan and the two of them. Cao Xuan didn't know what the answer was. He directly said that he was not suitable for Guo Jing, that Yang Kang had no time, and that he would not star in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Cao Xuan pulled away, and Zhang Dabeard took aim at Lu Yi, Zhou Jie, Li Yapeng and others, who were noisy over and over again.

"Look at this, they say I'm suitable to play Huang Rong."

Hu Jing pointed to one of them, and Cao Xuan glanced at her: "Do you want to play Huang Rong?"

Huang Rong is pretty, smart, lively and smart, which fits Hu Jing's acting style, but it's not that she can't act.

However, the quality of Beard's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is hard to say.

This is not Cao Xuan's boast. He did too much behind-the-scenes work in the previous "The Swordsman" and forcibly nailed the role of Linghu Chong, which made the drama well-received and became a big hit.

However, most people don't know his behind-the-scenes credit. They all think that Zhang Dabeard is a capable director, and they only praise Cao Xuan for his acting skills.

If Big Beard does not change this drama, Cao Xuan has a hunch that this drama will be scolded even worse than in the original time and space.

After all, there was a fellow star in "The Swordsman" in the original film to share the firepower, and this time everyone has raised their expectations for Zhang Jizhong.

As the saying goes, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment, and the more severe the overturn will naturally be.

For a newcomer like Dong Xuan, she plays the role of Mu Nianci/Hua Zheng, who doesn't have to take the blame or be scolded, which is a face-saving act.

But if you play Huang Rong, a serious heroine, you can't escape the thunder.

"I have worked with Lao Zhang. This guy's scenes are too unstable. I don't recommend you to act in them. Besides, our company doesn't have any new plays, so there is no need to lie in trouble.

If you really want to act in Jin Yong's drama, let's start our own drama. Put aside the finished film of "The Swordsman", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" Xiao Longnu is not suitable for you. Zhao Min is about the same in "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer". I will play Zhang Wuji, and we will be a couple. files. "

"When you play Zhang Wuji, he looks forward and backward. It's nothing like him."

"You are stereotyping. Li Lianjie's Zhang Wuji has become a tycoon, and he still gets rave reviews."

"I think you haven't made up your mind. I will play Zhao Min. Who will play Zhou Zhiruo? It won't be a certain school beauty. Who will play Xiao Zhao? Yang Xue or Dong Xuan?"

"Xu Lu can do it too, she's delicate and timid."

"Bah, I've seen something wrong with you a long time ago. I heard that Xu Lu was appointed by you in "Golden Fen Family". What's the matter, do you still want to have a mistress in your family?"

Hu Jing was immediately furious, Cao Xuan begged for mercy, and managed to deal with Huang Rong in just a few words.

To be honest, after "The Swordsman", he doesn't really want to get involved in Jin Yong dramas again. The characters are too famous and every reader has an image in their mind. You can't satisfy everyone, and there are classic film and television versions ahead of him. Falling into conflict.

If you perform well, that's all. If you don't perform well, you will be constantly pulled out and laughed at.

Although it is very popular, it is easy to fall into the center of controversy. Cao Xuan has experienced it himself and does not want Hu Jing and Zeng to leave them again.

If you really want to act, you can play a supporting role. It may not be as popular as the male and female protagonists, but it won't be dragged into public opinion.

Although Huang Rong declined, Cao Xuan was also seriously considering what Hu Jing would film next.

Currently, Cao Xuan doesn't have many scripts in hand. One of them is "Snowflake Goddess Dragon" that he bought from outside after signing the contract with Dong Xuan.

This script had already been negotiated with a film and television company in Fujian. If Cao Xuan hadn't acted quickly, the project would have been changed.

This is a drama tailor-made for Dong Xuan, and it is also Dong Xuan's masterpiece from the original time and space.

The investment is not high and the return is good. Once Dong Xuan finishes filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", filming will start at a selected date. Anyway, I have the script in hand and I am not in a hurry.

In addition to "Snowflake Goddess Dragon", a TV series with a female protagonist, Fanxing also has a TV series with a first female protagonist, "The Unruly Princess".

The original version of this script has not been released yet. Cao Xuan wrote the outline himself, and then the screenwriters saved it. It is a direct set of the fictional dynasty. The plot is similar to the original version. The main theme is a woman disguised as a man. In fact, it is a light comedy idol drama in which two men compete for one woman. .

The role of the heroine is almost not difficult for Cao Xuan and Hu Jing, but Cao Xuan is worried that the roles she plays are too homogeneous.

Pang Feiyan is the eldest lady in "Young Bao Qingtian", the eldest lady in "Martial Arts", the female bandit in "Journey to the West", and the female snitch in "Love Through Time".

Most of them are lively and cheerful characters with charming personalities and clever minds.

"Golden Pink Family" has some depth. The darkening in the later period and the scumbag plotting revenge brought a lot of charm to this character, but the character design in the early stage is not much different.

So Cao Xuan hesitated. If Hu Jing plays this kind of role again, it will solidify the impression in the audience's mind, and then it will be difficult to transform.

Of course, then again, actors are afraid of being stereotyped by the outside world. In addition to the audience, the most important thing is that they are afraid of not being able to get other roles. Hu Jing does not have to worry about this. As long as she is suitable, Fanxing will definitely have no shortage of roles for her.

In this way, it may not be a bad thing if one trick is popular all over the world, at least the popularity can be consolidated very well.

Moreover, Hu Jing is young now, so she should take advantage of her temperament and age to make more girly scenes, and when she gets older, she can take on other roles.

Cao Xuan can't make the decision in this matter, he can only make suggestions, and Hu Jing has to make her own choice.

Not only Hu Jing, but Cao Xuan is also worried about the next movie he will film. It has been a hit for two consecutive years, and he also has the original annual ratings champion "Golden Fan Family" in his hands.

Cao Xuan really doesn't pay attention to ordinary TV series now, but he is not suitable for starring in many future hits.

"The Secret History of Xiaozhuang" braid drama.

"Bright Sword" is inappropriate.

"Soldier Assault" unless you play a supporting role.

"My Leader, My Group" has enough reputation, but its ratings are hard to say, so it is listed as a candidate.

"Wulin Gaiden" is not a matter of suitability. The sitcom is a group drama. He is too famous and it is easy to lose balance among a group of leading actors.

The time for "Legend of Sword and Fairy" has not come.

In "Struggle", he has a disgusting male protagonist character, and he doesn't care about Ximen Qing, at least he is bad and honest. The most annoying thing in Cao Xuan is Bai Lianhua, who has a lot of disgusting things but insists on being decent. She is such a bitch.

He really wanted to act in "Cha Classmate Boy", but someone didn't dare to write it.

"Insidious" is pretty good.

Cao Xuan kept this drama in mind. Spy drama is indeed a very good field. It has a low cost, main theme, can show acting skills and has the opportunity to become a hit.

"Latent" is one of them, and Liu Yunlong's "Kite" is also good, but it is too "healing" and most people may not be able to stand it.

"Before Dawn" is okay. It may not have as wide an audience as "Insidious", but in terms of the specific spy plot and rhythm, many people say it is better than "Insidious", which is more like a workplace drama.

To be honest, he felt at ease with Hu Moubo. Leaving aside "Before Dawn", Cao Xuan was most interested in "Strategic Alliance".

Although this drama has some magical modifications and serious whitewashing of Sima Yi, it is definitely a masterpiece among the "original" dramas of the Three Kingdoms.

Cao Xuan has always dreamed of the Four Great Classics. The Three Kingdoms is the easiest theme to develop, and "The Alliance of Military Advisors" is a good framework.

If you only write about the generals or counselors of the Three Kingdoms, the plot will be too single and restrictive. If you write about a few major protagonists, it will easily become the history of the country. However, Sima Yi, a character who is both a minister and a master, is well-known and has a lot of roles to explore, is the best candidate for film and television adaptation. .

As for the problem of whitewashing Sima Yi in the original version, he can be changed into a sinister hypocrite and make a story about the growth of a hero.

Then invite the two teachers Tang Guoqiang and Bao Gaoan, who are still in their prime, to replay Zhuge Liang and Cao Cao. Yu Hewei, who divides the world between them, plays Cao Pi.

The only difficulty is that Cao Xuan, surnamed Cao, plays the role of Sima Yi usurping the Wei Dynasty. When the ancestors of the old Cao family see it, will they come to him in their dreams to talk...
